Application filed September 2B, 1887.v Serial No. 250,878. (No model.) I

To aZZ 1,071,071@ z'tmay, concern.'

Be 1t known that I, HENRr J. RUMRILLE, a

l citizen of the. United States, residing at Camden, in the count-y ofCamden and State of New Jersey, have invent-ed cert-ain new and usefulImprovements in Umbrella-Tents, of'which the following is aspeoiication, reference being had therein to the accompanying drawings.This invention has relation to that class of tents that involve in theirmake-up the use of Van ordinary umbrella, which serves as the canopy orroof ofthe tent. v

The objects and advantages of the invention Awill appear in thefollowing description, and

the uovel'features thereof will be particularly pointed out in theclaims.

Figure 1 is a front elevation of a tent embodying my invention. Fig. 2isa perspecillustrating the means employed for connecting the side wallswith the umbrella,and Fig.

4 illustrates the tent rolled for transportation.

Likeletters refer to like parts in all the iigures.

A represents the umbrella, which may be of ordinary construction'. Arepresents the handle thereof, and A2, Fig. 3, one of the ribs of theumbrella.

Y Walls and connected with the rib. Now, in

order to support theumb'rella at a sufficient height, the vcenter pole,D, made in sections and connected by a suitable ferrnle, D', isemployed, and to the upper section ofthe center pole is secured a clamp,E, which is made with end socketsE, and having ears through whichclamping nuts E2 are passed. The

sockets are joined to each other by the curved y body portion E3, andopposite the ears are provided the hinges E4. a The provision of thecurved or enlarged body portion E permits of the connection of thecenter pele with\any 5, ordinary umbrella-handle, asin ease'itterminates in a rounded, oval, or other shaped enlargementv the same'maybe embraced by the said body portion, While the cylindrical part `ofthehandle may be firmly clamped by the upper socket, E. Furthermore, incase the umbrella-handle is like a crook, it may project from the bodyportion of the clamp, as

with a tent-pin, G'whereby the whole struct ure may be rendered firm.

It will be readily seen thatv when not injuse' the ent-ire tent may bemade to occupy a very limited space by'r'olling the side walls about thecenter pole, using onel or more of the guys G for tying up the bundle;or, ifl desired, an ordinary shawl-strap, G, may be employed, as clearlyshown in Fig. 4.
